Thanks Ppills. Yeah they immediately don't like to be around each other right after. I want to see some subspinipes vid. What kind of digital camera did you use, the resolution looks good. My camera is old and sometimes the zoom gets stuck, it won't zoom in as close as it used to with still pics. It could kick the bucket any time so I'm kind of looking around. It would be neat to see Xbabies but I'm wanting more to see arizonensis babies from a different one. So, ..anybody.. do subspinipes shake their tail too, same basic behavior?
note the differences between the two, especially in girth...(you only really need to see the beginning of the vid)
) to turn off the boob tube & get to matin'. Just didn't wat to jack it entirely w/o your blessing. Cheers!You know zonbon I've been thinking the exact same thing. It seems rains (barometric pressure changes?) stimulate breeding in many animals, whether directly or indirectly. I've noticed countless times a lot of my Ts tend to molt and be more active in fall/spring whenever it rains where I live (the time of year we tend to get the most rain here). I haven't had pedes through the fall/winter/spring yet but we'll see what happens. I theorize that they will also be more active and receptive to eachother as soon as those clouds start coming. I think a well fed pair, placed together in a large black tub (darkness) with a few inches of substrate, with several hiding spots, high humidity and warmth, and during a wet stormy week, etc...might just be the trick!!!
(we'll see if they become more receptive as the fall comes!)Hey CW- in regards to the E. trigonopodus mating attempt- what time of year was that? I wonder if their is a seasonal element to centipede breeding & esp. for 'pedes of southern hemispheres: if the season is reversed or has anything to do with the rainy season.
Hey G- do you mind if this thread gets used for 'pede matin' vids? It might save us all a bit of searching & inspire the other collectors (like me
The male constructs it, she was just waiting for him to deposit the spermatophore. And I didn't know for the longest time either, pretty neat when you find out!!!
